Chapter 231 Is there pure friendship between men and women?
"It's a friend." Su Jiaojiao put the phone into the drawer of the bedside table.
"I don't think he's just an ordinary friend..." Chen Juan covered her mouth and laughed, "He has a nice voice and speaks to you very gently."
"I didn't provoke him, why would he yell at me?" Su Jiaojiao smiled, "Don't think too much, he's just an ordinary friend."
"Okay, if you say so, I believe it." Chen Juan actually didn't believe it, and warned her, "But you also have to be careful. I read a book that said there's no such thing as pure friendship between men and women."
"You read a lot of books." Su Jiaojiao just smiled. She could feel that Lu Jingyou was good to her, but she didn't have time to care about it now. He didn't confess his feelings or say anything, so why should she take it seriously?
Besides, in her eyes, he was not only her former boss, but also a mature and steady man. She had always respected him, and she would feel uncomfortable if it turned into that kind of relationship.
A man like him can be admired from afar, or even looked up to.
It would be too scary if he suddenly landed in front of her and said he liked her.
She didn't want that day to come because she would definitely refuse.
Once she refused, it would be difficult for her and him to return to their current relationship. He would not send her text messages, let alone send her review materials.
It’s a very frustrating thing to think about.
It's not that he's not good enough, but that she doesn't have the courage to face and accept a relationship.
She hated Qin Xiuming, not because he abandoned her when she loved him the most, but because he destroyed her courage to love others.
This topic also touched upon a past event deep in Chen Juan's heart. Seeing Su Jiaojiao remained silent for a long time, she said quietly, "Last month, that guy wrote me a letter. He said he missed having dinner at my house and that my home was very warm. He also asked me if he could come back. I haven't replied to him yet."
"No need to reply." Su Jiaojiao didn't expect there would be a follow-up to this matter. "He's irresponsible. If he had put up a fight, I would have respected him as a man."
"He said his uncle introduced him to someone else. She's five years older than him and has a son. The only difference is that her family is better off. He said he couldn't accept her and would rather share the good and bad times with me." Chen Juan sighed. "I don't know why he told me this. What kind of relationship do we have?"
"Why do you care why? This kind of person is not only poor, but also a scumbag." Su Jiaojiao sighed that Chen Juan was really naive. "Can't you see? He is weighing the pros and cons."
"What does it mean to weigh the pros and cons?" Chen Juan didn't understand.
"He's just trying to decide which blind date would be most beneficial to him." Su Jiaojiao sat up from the bed and said to Chen Juan seriously, "Remember, no matter how many letters he writes to you, don't reply. Dwelling on the past won't benefit anyone."
"I know." Chen Juan nodded. "I won't reply to him."
"Sister, life is about looking forward, not looking back." Su Jiaojiao stood at the window and looked out. It was snowing, and the ground was covered with a light white. Several children were running around, setting off firecrackers, and laughing all the time.
Chen Guilan knocked on the door and walked in: "Jiaojiao, your second uncle and I are going to your eldest uncle's house. We will be back soon."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao responded, "The road is slippery, be careful."
The brother and sister each brought a box of wine to Chen Guichang's house.
This is how their generation is. Even if they don't get along with each other in words and deeds, as long as they don't fall out, they will still interact with each other no matter big or small.
"Jiaojiao, shouldn't we go and wish them a happy new year too?" Chen Juan came over and stood beside Su Jiaojiao, looking at Chen Guisheng and Chen Guilan's backs and said, "I heard our eldest sister is getting married this year!"
"None of their brothers and sisters have come to wish their aunt a happy new year, so why should we go?" Su Jiaojiao didn't want to go to Chen Guichang's house. It was because they also lived in the same community and they would see each other every day. Otherwise, Chen Guilan would not go either.
To be fair, Su Jiaojiao didn't mean to cut off contact with relatives, but relatives like them would only cause trouble for others, so it's better not to have contact with relatives who cause trouble.
When people get along with each other, it is important to be comfortable. Naturally, if there are more relatives like her second uncle, she would be willing to interact and help them.
It’s better to avoid people like my uncle.
Chen Guichang and Wang Yunying had just returned from Wutong Village. Seeing Chen Guisheng and Chen Guilan coming, they warmly invited them to sit down. "Guisheng, I didn't know you went to Guilan's house. Chen Mei, Chen Ju, and Chen Jiang also went to your house and said the door was locked. I was wondering whose house you went to visit!"
"Apart from our two families, where else could he go?" Wang Yunying was particularly enthusiastic. She poured tea for the two of them and held Chen Guilan's hand affectionately. "We just said that we would bring the children to your house to pay New Year's greetings, and you came."
As she spoke, she looked at her three children again. They nodded and said in unison: "Yes, we are getting ready to go!"
"We live so close, we can go whenever we want." Chen Guilan looked at them and smiled, "Juanjuan and Jiaojiao are both at home. It will be even more lively if you go."
"Aunt has become more and more beautiful since she came to the city." Chen Mei smiled brightly, and her whole person became much gentler. "She's dressed more fashionably, and her skin has improved. I didn't recognize her when I saw her just now."
"Meimei is just sweet-talking." Chen Guilan knew as soon as she heard it that Chen Mei wanted her to come and help with her wedding. She and Wang Yunying were indeed mother and daughter, with similar personalities.
"Come to my house for dinner tonight. Invite Juanjuan, Jiaojiao, and Yue'e and Suisui." Chen Guichang, wearing a suit and tie, waved his hand and said, "Chen Jiang is the chef. Let him cook. You just help him."
"Yes, yes, let Chen Jiang do it." Wang Yunying suddenly became very generous and said to Chen Jiang, "Go to the kitchen and prepare it now. We will help you later."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Chen Jiang rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen. Chen Ju followed him, "I'll help you."
Chen Guisheng and Chen Guilan looked at each other. Chen Guisheng nodded and said to Chen Guilan, "Go back and see if Sui Sui is awake, and call them over!"
Since the boss and his wife are so sincere, just stay for dinner.
Although the two of them almost had a fight over the relocation of graves some time ago, brothers are brothers after all. They fight when they should fight and eat when they should eat.
"Okay, I'll go back and call them." Chen Guilan didn't object. At their age, it was already great for the brothers and sisters to sit down and have a meal together.
"Brother and sister-in-law, let's go to their house for dinner?" Xu Yue'e was very alert. "Did something happen to their family?"
"Second sister-in-law, don't think too much. We're just going to have a meal." Chen Guilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Even if there's something going on, it's a happy event. Meimei is getting married."
